Adams, Executive Director “Morals — One in Heart With God” Of course, if you watch or keep up with any current events, you will be aware that homosexuality and late term abortions are two current debates that are not going to go away. Proverbs 6:16-17 gives clear direction regarding God’s instructions regarding the “shedding of innocent blood.” Leviticus 18:22 shouts out “thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” One in Heart Together as the BMA Moral Action continues to stand with His churches as we share the Word of God to the hearts of mankind. Moral Action is a valuable tool to help you be a “beacon” in times of darkness and conflict of values. The Director and trustees invite you to review the Ten (10) Summary Statements of Moral Action. Our agency exists to give a voice to thousands of decent, law-abiding, God fearing Americans that desire to adhere to moral principles. We continue to stand with you through relevant articles in our state associational publications. We provide free literature on current moral issues. We invite you to browse to our web page at www.macbma.net. The web page will provide local pastors and churches information on current topics, tools for study, steps to contact your legislators, and additional information about our agency. Moral Action continues to be out in the forefront as we battle to keep the words “In God We Trust” on our coin and paper monies, and to keep “under God” in our Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. The American Civil Liberties (A.C.L.U.) continues to seek to have these words removed. The Moral Action agenda also includes activism in the ongoing battle against homosexuality and lesbianism, gay and lesbian marriages, and partial – birth abortions. One in Heart With Others As Executive Director of Moral Action, I encourage our BMA Christian family to be familiar with valuable Christian resources. Below are just a few of these: Family Research Council (FRC) Dr. Tony Perkins 1-800-225-4008 www.FRC.org National Day of Prayer (NDOP) May 1, 2014 Chairman, Anne Graham Lotz 1-719-559-9560 1-800-444-8828 www.nationaldayofprayer.org WallBuilders David Barton, Historian 5 1-817-441-6044 1-800-873-2845 www.wallbuilders.com is STRICT. Do we need to be told again that Jehovah God destroyed all of mankind with the Noahic flood because of men’s evil deeds. God looked at the immoral lifestyle of Nadab and Abihu, and Ananias and Sapphira and destroyed them. We must, therefore, be one in heart with the Bible. Focus On The Family President Jim Daly 1-800-A-Family 1-800-232-6459 www.focusonthefamily.com One in Heart Before a Depraved Culture Is moral truth and moral living merely a preference or is it a moral obligation? Our Lord, Jesus Christ and God’s Only Son, told his workers that they were called to be the salt and the light in a darkened, depraved society. Matthew 5:14, “ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.” Believers in Jesus must reassert the reality of the absolute truth and the value of all human life. This light is found in the Scripture. Not surprisingly, it is also found in the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Our light is a Judeo-Christian light that should shine – and shine brightly. Christians United for Israel Director David Brog 1-210-477-4714 www.CUFI.org Alliance Defending Freedom Dr. Alan Sears 1-800-TELL-ADF www.alliancedefendingfreedom.org Moral Action Dr. John M. Adams P.O. Box 305 Mantachie, MS 38855 1-662-231-3863 1-662-282-7425 www.macbma.net One in Heart With His Churches We wish to thank each church, association, WMA, Brotherhood and individuals who contributed to the July 4th Freedom Offering and this ministry. You will find this list under “contributions.” Let me encourage our BMA family to make preparations for our yearly Freedom offering this year on either June 29th or July 6, 2014. Mrs. Adams and I covet your prayers. We ask each church to budget Moral Action or send monetary gifts as desired. I thank your for this wonderful privilege to serve as your director. It is indeed a great honor. Let me also acknowledge First Baptist Church, Mantachie MS for sharing their pastor with this ministry. God bless each of you in your journey. One in Heart With the Bible As Christians, we learn our moral guidelines through God’s Holy Word. These guidelines are for our edification and certainly for our good. Many are thinking and perhaps even saying, “In the 21st Century God’s guidelines are too strict. As long as we believe in Him, He does not care what we do.” Paul said in Romans 11:22, “Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God; on them, which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.” God 6 Ten Summary Statements of Moral Action 1 8 2 9 3 4 10 We are committed to the proclamation of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ with paramount emphasis upon His virgin birth, sinless life, and literal resurrection. We believe that parental choice of public, private, or home education should be available to all Americans. We favor governmental assistance for the deserving poor, but only through programs which encourage individuals to be self-reliant, thus strengthening the family rather than weakening it. We believe in the sanctity of human life, and thus support a Human Life Amendment to protect the lives of the innocent unborn. We maintain that religious freedom must be regarded as one of the most important human rights. We support a strong national defense as the surest way to protect the security and liberty of American citizens, and to assure peace and freedom in the world. We support both a voluntary prayer amendment to the United States Constitution and equal access legislation, in order to restore religious expression in our public schools. Moral Action is in existence to give a voice to millions of decent, law-abiding, God fearing Americans who want to do something about the moral decline of our country. Moral Action does not advocate the election or defeat of any candidate, and does not endorse any political party. The information provided by the committee of the Baptist Missionary Association of America, is provided as a tool to help you more effectively lobby your Congressman, your Senators, and your President. 5 We are committed to the civil rights of all citizens being guaranteed, but believe that the creation of so-called “gay rights” for homosexuals is a threat to our nation’s family life and extends civil rights beyond what is appropriate. 6 We support enactment and enforcement of legislation to contain the moral blight of pornography in our land. 7 We contend that government must acknowledge that parents are responsible for the raising of their children. 7 Resolution #1 APPRECIATION FOR OUR MILITARY WHEREAS, U.S. Military appreciation is needed. The cause and cost of freedom, democracy and peace is being advanced by the diligent and courageous performance of members of our United States military, who serve our country faithfully, both here and abroad, while they are aggressively engaged in the global war on terror; and WHEREAS, All the conflicts have not been fought and our soldiers are still in the battle to win the war as well as restore civil order at the risk of their own lives; and WHEREAS, Military service entails a comprehensive sacrifice from each soldier and from their families, friends, and communities, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the messengers of the Baptist Missionary Association of America Meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas, in April, 2014, commend and salute our service men and women, in all branches of the military who are serving faithfully and honorably, both at home and abroad; and be it further RESOLVED, That we pray for the safety and well-being of our military personnel at all times, with particular attention to those who are in harm’s way; and be it finally RESOLVED, That we express reverent thanksgiving to Almightly God, the Judge of all nations, who is mightier than all armies and who alone is able to save, and ask His continued guidance and mercy upon our troops and our nation. Resolution #2 THE DESTRUCTION MADE BY GAMBLING WHEREAS, the tidal wave of gambling in our country has left in its wake pain and destruction in the lives of countless individuals, including children, poor and the elderly, and WHEREAS, many state governments have believed the lie that state-sponsored gambling will improve their local economy and provide funds for education, despite evidence to the contrary, and WHEREAS, state government by tacit approval of the so-called benefits of gambing become a predator rather than a protector of its constituents; and WHEREAS, the commercial advertising of gambling further increases the negative effects; and WHEREAS, often the tide of gambling has been turned in American history by God’s people who knelt in confession and stood in conviction; 8 BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that we, the messengers of the Baptist Missionary Association of America, assembled in Little Rock, Arkansas, April, 2014, call on all Christians to exercise their influence by refusing to participate in any form of gambling or its promotion; and BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that we urge our political leaders to enact laws restricting and eventually eliminating all forms of gambling and its advertisement. Resolution #3 RECOGNIZE THE NEED TO ELECT GODLY LEADERS TO POLITICAL OFFICES WHEREAS, politicians sometimes will proclaim Christianity; and WHEREAS, some corrupt politicians use religion for political ends; and WHEREAS, these type of political leaders are guilty of selling faith for corrupt power; BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that we born again believers in Christ work to elect good and Godly men and women who share our Biblical values and who support our church policies of morality; and BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that we urge these Godly political representatives to take care of the public trust; and BE IT THEREFORE, FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Baptist Missionary Association of America meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas, April 2014, work diligently to elect good and Godly men and women to public offices in the United States. Resolution #4 To stand firmly against Homosexuality WHEREAS, Christians can and should minister to homosexuals and lesbians in a biblical manner; and WHEREAS, God can work through our lives to minister and touch those practicing this immorality; and WHEREAS, our pulpits and lecterns can proclaim the destructiveness of the Gay Rights Movement in America; THEREFORE, be it resolved, that we urge the Baptist Missionary Association of America messengers meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas in April, 2014 to take a Biblical stand against homosexuality in a Christian manner. 9 Resolution #5 Reaffirmation of the United States Government to support and help protect the Jewish nation of Israel, God’s people WHEREAS, we believe Jehovah God attested both the existence and the continuing existence of the Jewish people and by the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ; and WHEREAS, we pray for peace in the Middle East; and WHEREAS, we Christians believe the the present state of Israel maintains a divine right to the land given to Abraham; THEREFORE, be it further resolved, that the messengers and churches of the Baptist Missionary Association of America meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas, April, 2014, urge the United States Government to maintain a recognition of Israel and support unequivocal her right to exist as God’s people. 10 Recommendations 1. That our local associations, local and state WMA and Brotherhoods, and our local churches be encouraged to give a financial gift or budgeted monthly gifts of Moral Action. These funds will strengthen this ministry. 2. That our churches and pastors embrace and support our nation by participating and promoting the National Day of Prayer (NDOP), Thursday, May 1, 2014. (nationaldayofprayer.org) Join other Americans in prayer for our nation. Meetings can be conducted at town halls, city halls, county courthouses, flag poles, states houses and churches. 3.

This is an opportunity to honor or give memorials (if desired) for our soldiers, past and present. 4. That Dr. John M. Adams, Executive Director, represent the BMA of American in Washington, D.C., at the Watchmen on the Wall Conference, and by encouraging and contacting our United States Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen, and other Christian moral/political organizations. 5. That our Baptist Missionary Association of America reaffirm and approve these five (5) Moral Action resolutions and that we sincerely pray for our nation and Christian homes. 6. That we humbly request that these resolutions be printed in our BMA state newspapers and local church bulletins. 7. That Dr. John M. Adams stand as a nominee for Executive Director of Moral Action. 8. That the proposed budget be approved.

ANNUAL REPORT Coordinating Council CHAIRMAN PAUL BULLOCK a desire to work one in heart. Most of their work as individual departments and agencies has been intentional in their consideration of the churches and the other departments. This will always lead to a greater potential harvest in God’s field of ministry. The Missions office has proven this with a desire to integrate with Lifeword. Another extension of this same philosophy of ministry is her effort to challenge local churches to become the driving force of our mission work. The desire to be a help to the local church in her mission to plant other churches is simply a reflection of that “one in heart” mentality. Lifeword’s willingness to volunteer the properties in Conway to be the central campus for all departments in this integration effort is a sure sign of their willingness to cooperate “one in heart.” Her willingness to make their Foundation a blessing to other departments simply reinforces that mind set. Our seminary’s focus on teaching and training disciple makers from around the globe certainly fits the “one in heart” desire of a school wanting to do all that it can to equip workers for the Lord’s harvest. Making disciples the way Jesus made disciples will certainly equip leaders to lead in all aspects of local church and associational ministry. The leadership at the seminary continues to work “one in heart” with the other departments to cooperate fully and intentionally for the good of this association. DiscipleGuide’s goal to be an integral part of the integration process with Missions and Lifeword is firmly rooted in that desire to be “one in heart.” Its efforts to supply literature and to provide camps and conferences “One in Heart” The prophet Amos asked the important question, “Can two walk together unless they are agreed?” There does not have to be agreement in every detail, but there must be agreement in certain essentials for two to walk together. If we are to walk together, we must, at some point, begin in the same place. If we will walk together, we must be going in the same direction. If we will walk together, we must do so at the same pace. The underlying answer to Amos’ question certainly establishes the framework of associational ministry together. The “two” can be departments in integration. The “two” can be churches in associations. The “two” must certainly be churches and departments in cooperation in order to be successful spiritually. Successful ministry will only take place if the “two” are one in heart. We might not agree on the methods of doing everything exactly the same, but we certainly agree on the truth that we will get more done together than we can ever do apart. Solomon emphasized that same truth saying, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.” The good reward will most likely be proportional to the reflection of their oneness of heart. Consider the following truths in light of the importance of being one in heart to get things done for God’s glory. None of us are as strong as all of us, none of us are as smart as all of us, and none of us are as productive as all of us. That is true for individuals, churches, and associations of churches. In the Council’s work with the departments and agencies in the past year, an obvious strength has been 15 all fit within their stated desire to resource the local churches. Our two agencies have both had exceptional years. Moral Action continues to work hand-in-hand with pastors and churches for the principles and values of the scriptures. Her leadership has worked with those within and those like-minded groups outside our association to challenge our churches to stand according to those Biblical principles in these spiritually dark times. Ministers’ Resource Services continues to provide the means for workers from the local church and the associational level to prepare for retirement in a safe, financially prudent way. The Council’s recommendation concerning the formation of a new agency, the BMAA Foundation, is simply a reflection of that one in heart mentality that our departments share. This proposed agency would benefit all the departments in all future years by allow- ing a means whereby donors willing to make a lasting contribution to the ministry of any or all of the departments. This proposed agency would not require any new funding from our churches and will bless each future budget by providing assets that can help our association do more for the glory of God. One duty of the Coordinating Council, as outlined in the Statement of Principles of Cooperation, is to “recommend organizational changes to the departmental structure of the association.” This recommendation is supported by all of our directors and will lead to continued growth in the financial footing of the association. Synergy is defined as the ability to accomplish more together than apart. It is the hope of the Council that our departments and agencies and all of our associated churches can continue to see the effects of synergy ring true in our work together. Recommendations The Coordinating Council of the Baptist Missionary Association of America recommends endorsement of the name change of the Lifeword Foundation to the BMAA Foundation. The name change has been approved by the Lifeword Foundation board and the Lifeword board. We further recommend: 1. That the BMAA Foundation be established as an Agency of the Baptist Missionary Association of America. The purpose of this initiative is to provide one Foundation which any department or agency of the association can utilize for investing endowment funds. Although the foundation has been a subsidiary of Lifeword and functioned to serve only Lifeword since its inception in 1998, its purpose, as defined within its Articles of Incorporation, allows it to serve any department of the Baptist Missionary Association of America. Separate accounts will be maintained for each entity with no comingling of funds. Existing funds donated to the former Lifeword Foundation will become part of the Lifeword account in the BMAA Foundation. Distributions shall be declared from the previous year’s earnings and/or undistributed earnings from earlier periods. In making distributions, the Board shall follow the stated direction of the donors of restricted gifts. Unrestricted earnings shall be distributed based upon the calculation of a department or agency’s percentage of investments compared to the total investments of the Foundation. In addition to separate accounts for each BMA department or agency, a general account for the BMA of America will be maintained to provide a repository for those with a desire to benefit the entire work of the association. Earnings from the BMA of America account will be distributed among the entities of the BMA of America on an annual basis according to the following formula.

Though we will never meet many of our brothers and sisters in Christ in this life, we are one in the Spirit, and God supernaturally works through His people around the globe to accomplish His mission. One of the most powerful means to spread the Word and knit believers together is the tool of media. in common (Acts 2:44) and continued daily with one accord and had communion with gladness and singleness of heart (Acts 2:46). They praised God and had favor with all people and the Lord added to the church daily (Acts 2:47). God blessed and poured out His Spirit. The Gospel was preached. Three thousand souls from various nationalities and walks of life repented for the remission of their sins and were baptized and added to the church as a result. While you may think of Lifeword as just a few individuals working from an office complex in Conway, Arkansas, the influence of your media ministry is likely much broader than you may realize. As we work through our budget and ministry plan each year, we stand amazed at how God takes a relatively small financial plan and reaches out in a meaningful way to five of the seven continents with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. A few years ago, we put together an organizational chart of Lifeword’s operations and realized there are 83 team members around the world producing 50 different programs in 34 languages—to God be the glory! The following report will provide an update of how God is working around the globe through various Lifeword broadcasts. We praise the Lord that He has blessed, and continues to bless with similar results, our unity in heart and vision for His honor and glory. The integration of Missions and Lifeword has not only enhanced our cohesion, communion and communication between the departments, but has moved us from cooperation to collaboration in our commitment to the Great Commission. The eternal results? People from around the globe from various tongues and walks of life have professed their faith in Jesus Christ, and have been baptized and plugged in to a local BMA church. Missions are being started and churches are being organized through our concerted efforts. The synergy created by the integration under a unified vision is amazing and has introduced the interdependency paradigm to our culture. Sure, we can accomplish things independently and perhaps even survive for a short while independent of the other. However, the interdependent mentality Singleness of Heart Adds Up and Multiplies The church in the book of Acts was with one accord in one place (Acts 2:1). They had all things 18 allows us to thrive and has taken us to the level where we are doing greater things together by combining our God-given abilities and talents. oneness while working together with greater effectiveness: 1. In Asia-Pacific, BMA missionaries and Lifeword team members are joining forces to reach out to every people group with whom we are working to develop indigenous leadership, and to implement low power FM radio stations. Their goal is to implement at least 10 stations by the end of 2014. Pastor Pete Etabag reports: In John 13, Jesus gave a new commandment; that we love one another, as He loved us. He also said that all men would know that we are His disciples if we have love one to another (John 13:34-35). The love, combined efforts, common goals and clarity of vision have enabled our departments to coact united in love and vision for the sake of the Kingdom. His Kingdom. This year our operations will concentrate on 3 major thrusts: 1. We will maintain and strengthen our broadcast operations around the world. We will continue the strategic expansion of gospel programming into new languages and additional programs in accordance with the unified vision we have established in collaboration with the BMA Missions Department. 2. We will continue to take an active role alongside BMA Missions in initiating new indigenous leadership development strategies worldwide, both for church plants and for media development. Our objective is to work alongside indigenous BMA personnel to train and empower leaders to help them formulate and execute their own vision for reaching their culture, largely with their own resources, while becoming selfgoverning, self-supporting, and selfpropagating. 3. As an integral part of accomplishing the first two objectives, Lifeword has set into motion a vigorous campaign to help indigenous BMA churches discover and utilize the media tools within their reach in order to effectively share the gospel message with their own culture. x Our broadcasts have been instrumental in starting many Bible studies in many areas. Pastor Rudy Rioja, our Lifeword producer, reports that at least two missions have been started because of the broadcasts and now they are planning to organize into local churches. x Many souls have been saved and are faithfully attending our churches in the Bicol area. Young people who were reached by radio have surrendered to the ministry and are at our Bible College in Silay City, preparing to become church planters. 2. BMA of Africa missionaries and Lifeword personnel have joined forces to implement 10 low power FM radio stations in conjunction with the local BMA churches in Ghana. 3. In the Americas, BMA missionaries and Lifeword have implemented three LPFMs in Central and South America with plans to add more. 4. In Burma (Myanmar), missionary and Lifeword speaker Bro. Rama reports: x Jesus, in John 17, prays to the Father that we all may be one as He and the Father are one.

This multiplication vision is reflected in the Word of God, which is a missionary narrative from Genesis to Revelation. The Gospels are the record of the Sent One preparing 12 men to “live sent” and turn the world upside down. The book of Acts is the missionary story as it continues to unfold. The epistles were basically all written to church planters or brand new churches. The point is that the New Testament was written in a context of mission and multiplication. It was not written in the context of a mere intellectual pursuit of God; rather, it was written in the realm of true discipleship which calls for surrender, sacrifice, and suffering. In Colossians chapter 4, Paul ends his letter to the believers in Colossae by sending greetings from all the people on his ministry team who were with him in Rome. Someone has said that if you count all the people that Paul prepared and empowered in ministry throughout his twenty-year ministry, you It has recently been brought to my attention how poorly we acknowledge things in our lives that should be cause for celebration. Here are a few things that we celebrate from this past year in BMAA missions. • • • • • We have more missionaries right now than at any time in the 62 year history of our association. All 11 missionary families elected in 2013 are now either on their field or in language training. The 65/35 plan allowed all these families to go AND we had more given to the general fund in 2013 than in 2012. The BMA churches in CO are poised to double in the next few years as they seek to plan new churches.

A corporation can be a member of an LLC. This allows the creation of an additional level of ownership to facilitate an initiative such as the BMA integration without convoluting one of the entities’ books. If other BMA entities choose to join the integration effort in the future, the LLC is designed to allow for seamless expansion. Based on these findings, the Missionary Advisory Committee and Lifeword Board of Directors offer a joint-recommendation for the creation of the BMA of America LLC as the legal entity to hold the shared assets in Conway. We further recommend that the Missionary Advisory Committee and Lifeword Board of Directors jointly prepare an operating agreement to establish policies and procedures for managing the LLC that meet the specific needs and concerns of each. 29 ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL REPORT Ministers Services Ministers Resource Resource Services RETIREMENT AGENCY AGENCY OF OF THE RETIREMENT THE BMA BMA OF OF AMERICA AMERICA RON DIRECTOR RONCHESSER, CHESSER, EXECUTIVE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Retirement Averages 8.03% for 11 Years BMA BMA It is with aRETIREMENT thankful heart that I share with you, the AVERAGES messengers of the BMA of America, my fifteenth annual 8.03%FOR11YEARS report as Executive Director of Ministers Resource Ser- ment funds at Ministers Resource Services, a growth the$10,874,090.96 past year we received participants inDuring assets of over thefrom past eleven years. eachnumbers month anrepresent averagepeople. of $113,763.78 for deposit These These people are pasintochurch their BMA Retirement accounts at Ministers tors, staff and employees of the BMA who are Resource Services, a daily average of $3,740.18. diligently preparing for retirement hand in hand with 2013 yearly total we received for deposit into theThe churches and entities of our association. retirement accounts for pastors, church and The BMA Ministers Retirement Plan isstaff approved the BMA wasfor $1,365,165.36, with byemployees the Internalof Revenue Service tax-deferred income last year’s total portfolio growth being from the churches, departments and agencies of the $481,882.46.

Serving the Servants of God No matter what ministry we are involved in we are challenged daily to make disciples of all nations. We who name the name of Jesus must remember it is all about living up to His call on our lives as we make a renewed firm commitment in seeing that others learn the disciplines of being a true follower of Jesus! The BMA of America as an association must hasten in carrying out the great commission for the cause of Christ; therefore, let’s pursue with diligence every God given opportunity for ministry. Ministers Resource Services is only one part of the whole in the ministry of the BMA of America. Our ministry is unique to any other in our association. We are not planting churches, broadcasting the gospel, training individuals for ministry or sharing the Word through printed page, but we are serving those who minister in every department, agency and church. We serve those who serve others; indeed, our slogan is true, “We Serve the Servants of God.” Our Missions Statement is to provide retirement, benevolent, and financial services to the pastors, churches and entities of the Baptist Missionary Association of America. Our mission is clear; therefore we are committed more than ever before about the opportunities God will continue to give us in serving others with their retirement and financial needs. The various ministries and programs of Ministers Resource Services confirm our purpose in the BMA of America. Working hand in hand with the BMA Ministers Retirement Plan is the Ministers Benevolent Society and Auxiliary. The Benevolent Society operates as a death benefit fund that is payable upon death to the survivors of enrolled ministers and wives by a voluntary contribution of $10.00 per member. During the past year there were 22 deaths in the Benevolent Society resulting in a total death benefit of $60,600.00 that was paid to the families of the deceased. During the past year there were 7 new members added to the Ministers Benevolent Society and Auxiliary. Since its inception the Benevolent Society has paid a total of $1,594,927.00 to the families of deceased members. F.A.M.E. (Funds to Alleviate Ministers Emergencies) helps those ministers who have urgent financial Heartfelt Gratitude A sincere word of appreciation is expressed to our Board of Trustees: Eddie Ballard, Eddie Booth, Norman Crass, Ray Holland, Ron Ledford, Kenneth Lott, David Pickard and Ed Ridge for their dedication and faithfulness. Their expertise in the financial arena is a must to the ministry of Ministers Resource Services. I am extremely thankful that these men all share with me the same passion, helping pastors and church staff plan for retirement. This year our prayers and sympathy go to Ms. Janie Burnett upon the loss of her husband, Bro. Randy Burnett, one of our board members. Bro. Burnett was a faithful, devoted board member of MRS, in fact he was on the board of trustees in 1999 when I accepted the position as director. Our prayer is that God will continue to give his wife and family strength and grace in the days ahead. Words are inadequate in expressing personal thanks to my Administrative Assistants, Sharon Daniels and Alice Griffin. The work of Ministers Resource Services would not be what it is today without their faithfulness to this ministry. Together they have over 50 years of service. For Alice and Sharon it is not just a job, it is a calling. Without these ladies it would be impossible for me to do the work of MRS. Loving appreciation is also expressed to my wife, Gloria. Without her support and prayers it would be difficult for me to serve as Executive Director of Ministers Resource Services. My heart is extremely thankful to our Lord for allowing Ministers Resource Services to operate with great 31 “financial freedom” over the past fourteen years. To God be the glory! If your church is supporting this ministry, we express our sincere appreciation. If your church is not supporting Ministers Resource Services, we ask you to give prayerful consideration to the financial support of this ministry. May God bless you for what you are able to do for MRS. My gratitude is expressed to all those pastors, churches and associations, in 15 states, who over the past fourteen plus years have allowed me to share my vision of enrolling every pastor in the BMA Ministers Retirement Plan. During the past year it was my joy to travel across five states sharing the ministries of MRS with our churches and associations. Pastors, my thanks to you for allowing me to fulfill the call that God has placed upon my life. serves should also have a part in his retirement. Just as most businesses provide retirement for their employees, I believe churches should provide retirement benefits for the man who preaches the Word and ministers among people. You may contact Ministers Resource Services, the retirement agency of the BMA of America, at P. O. Box 2866, Texarkana, AR 75504, by phone at 870774-2654 or email Executive Director, Ron Chesser, at [email protected] to request a retirement packet or to open an account. Recommendations 1. That Ron Chesser stand as nominee for Executive Director of Ministers Resource Services. 2. That $18,000.00 of the Executive Director’s salary be designated as housing allowance. 3. That the budget of $252,034.08 be approved. 4. That a moment of silence be observed and a special prayer be offered for the families and churches of the 22 members of the Ministers Benevolent Society and Auxiliary who passed away during 2013. 5. We urge each church to enroll her pastor and church staff in the BMA Retirement Plan at Ministers Resource Services. 6. We urge our pastors, their wives and each local church to enroll in the Ministers Benevolent Society and Auxiliary. 7. We urge each church to include Ministers Resource Services in her monthly budgeted offerings to the various departments of the BMA of America and that each church also receive a special offering on Sunday, October 26, 2014 for Ministers Resource Services as we celebrate Pastor Appreciation month throughout the BMAA. 8. We urge continued prayer for the Executive Director, Board of Trustees and Office Staff of Ministers Resource Services. Looking Ahead Ministers Resource Services exists to help God’s servants make financial preparation for the future. The picture of the ant in Proverbs storing away food for a later season is a wonderful Biblical principle of preparing for the future. Our ministry is helping pastors, church staff and employees of the BMA make the right choice in preparing financially for retirement. Someone said recently regarding retirement, we must learn to work longer, spend less, and save more. I believe this applies to everyone including preachers. It is a fact that most people usually spend all they earn. The truth is most folks don’t make any effort to save money for a later time in life. The priority of Ministers Resource Services is to encourage every pastor and church staff to look ahead and prepare financially for the future by having a BMA Retirement account. God has not only called me to help our pastors plan for retirement but also to educate our churches that they need to be a part of that process. My goal is to see every church in the BMAA enrolling her pastor and church staff in the BMA Retirement Plan at MRS. My prayer is to see every pastor, no matter what age, saving money for retirement through Ministers Resource Services, the retirement agency of the BMA of America. Along with the pastor’s participation, I believe the church he 32 Director, Board of Trustees and Office Staff of Ministers Resource Services.

My name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of Hosts (Malachi 1:11). …That every knee should bow…and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God (Philippians 2:10-11). Worthy art thou to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation (Revelation 5:9). Haugesund, Norway: January 15, 2013 A Muslim stabs two Christians who converted from Islam. Such headlines are all too common in our day. Most informed people realize that these attacks on nonMuslims, though widespread geographically, are a part of the ultimate goal of Islam: subjugation of the world including us, our children, and grandchildren. Sometimes we wonder, "What should I do to retard the spread of this 'peaceful' religion?” Perhaps, more often we ask, "What CAN I do?" Perhaps unknowingly, you are already doing the only thing that will really help, assisting BMA Seminary to train Muslim converts to take the love of Christ to their friends and family. Today’s Headlines: Unguwar Kajit, Nigeria: January 31, 2014 Seven Members of a Christian family are murdered in their own home by Muslim gunmen. Marmarita, Syria: January 8, 2014 A young Christian is beheaded after Islamists discover him wearing a cross necklace. Several years ago, Ashraf and Rasha Sara came to the Seminary from our church in Baghdad, Iraq. Both Ashraf and Rasha were excellent students and Ashraf is now working in a thriving BMAA mission in Dallas, reaching Arabs from many countries for Christ, and Rasha will soon be working with him in the same mission. Bangui, CAR (Central African Republic): December 5, 2013 Three pastors, including a father of eleven, are murdered in a Muslim rampage. Ain Shams, Egypt: August 6, 2013 A 10-year-old Christian girl is shot through the heart in front of her church by pro-Muslim Brotherhood activists. Ashtabula, Ohio: March 24, 2013 A Muslim convert walks into a church service with a Quran (Koran) and guns down his Christian father while praising Allah. Fifteen years ago, after attending the University of Texas, the Lord saved Iraj, a middle-aged man who was born in a Muslim home in Iran. Later, God called 36 him to preach and providentially sent him to the BMA Seminary campus in Jacksonville. Iraj has since planted an Iranian Baptist Church in the Dallas area, worked with LifeWord in broadcasting the gospel into Iran, and makes multiple trips to Turkey and Armenia each year to evangelize Iranian refugees. Iraj is also a "Paul." He knows he must pass his knowledge and discipleship skills to others. God has called two other Iranian men to preach under his ministry in Dallas. One has started classes in Jacksonville and the other will follow as soon as finances are available. ministry to make sure the current and new generation is equipped to make disciples the way Jesus did. This year is the BMA Seminary's 57th year of taking faithful men and equipping them to teach faithful men who can teach others also. This year you are not only doing well in training men from the Arab world to reach their own, you also are equipping disciple makers from China, Korea, Mexico, France, Costa Rica, the Philippines, Bolivia, Honduras, and states other than Texas: Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Washington. This current semester, we have students registered from Nevada and Hawaii. The total number of students from this past year was 186. You are doing the only thing that really changes the lives and hearts of Muslims–training. You are training men to win Muslims to Christ and training them to reach their family and friends. The Lord has also blessed in the area of our stewardship. The Seminary has no debt. The only blemish on the year’s finances was that we ended the year May 31, 2013, with a small deficit ($2,505.00). The minor deficit came primarily from a good thing. Through the years we have bought properties adjacent to the campus to increase our student housing and control the safety of our neighborhood. In May, a house across the street from the campus came on the market and we were able to purchase it for $63,000. The money came from endowment earnings and the current fund. The purchase put us in the red for the year. However, God has blessed and friends of the Seminary from across the U.S. have given over $53,000.00 toward the purchase. Nothing facilitates that better than Christ-Centered Preaching, Christ-Centered Worship, and ChristCentered Discipleship. These are the very things that are at the core of the BMA Seminary. We believe what Jesus said in Luke 24:25-27 is true, that all the scriptures in existence at His time (the law, the prophets and the psalms,) spoke concerning Him. And we know that He pre-authenticated the writings of the New Testament. Every preacher's goal should be that of Paul, to preach Christ and Him crucified. That is done by connecting application to any Scripture passage containing something Jesus has done, is doing, or has promised to do. Christ-centered worship means that we search the Scriptures of the living Lord to find a precedent for anything we do in public or private worship. We believe that if the Bible does not command it or give solid approval of God’s blessing on it, we must shun it; otherwise we are worshipping ourselves and it is worthless before God (Colossians 2:23 & Matthew 15: 8-9 to the Pharisees). The Seminary is not only sound in Baptist doctrine, but also sound in its educational credentials. Last year we passed our third 10-year renewal with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the premier accrediting agency of the southern U.S. That means that any degree earned at BMA Seminary is recognized at the same level as any master's degree from the major universities in the South. Christ-centered discipleship is making disciples the way that Jesus did. Jesus preached to multitudes, taught smaller groups, and spent perhaps the majority of his time mentoring individuals. One-on-many, oneon-some, one-on-one. Baptist preachers have done well through the ages with the one-on-many and oneon-some aspects, but have largely failed at what Jesus worked the hardest, ONE-ON-ONE. The Seminary is doing all we can through the BMAA's DiscipleWay The Seminary has launched an on-line degree program to help those who cannot move to Jacksonville. These programs were recently approved by our regional accrediting agency and may be registered for this summer and fall. This degree can be augmented with one week intensive classes on the main campus in the winter and summer. We also launched a series of free online classes for those who 37 want to learn but don't want the pressure of completing a degree.

your church. Why? Because your church has been bought with the blood of Christ, called to the work of Christ, and placed under the rule of Christ. No matter your location, your Sunday attendance, or your financial resources, your church is valuable to the kingdom of God — and therefore, it is valuable to DiscipleGuide. We know who you are because we are one of you. We are an association of primarily small churches. And that’s a positive. God does big things through small churches. That’s why we want to invest in you. in Little Rock, followed by First Baptist in Springhill, Louisiana, and Berean Baptist in Memphis, Tennessee. He also pastored churches in Houston, Texas, and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, before taking the position at the camp in September 1979. Camp Ministry DiscipleGuide is excited about the future of our camp ministry. Every year, about three thousand young souls visit Daniel Springs. More importantly, every year, we see hundreds of those souls come to Christ. In 2013, we rejoiced to see 150 kids make professions of faith in Christ at the camp. Brother Speer continues to do a great job investing in the youth of our association. More physical improvements have been made at the camp this year. Volunteers have remodeled cabin interiors, replaced roofs, and constructed bridges. We still have plenty of projects available if you are interested in getting involved. Your kids need to go to camp this year. It’s a great opportunity for them to spend time with Brother Speer in his last year as camp director. I can’t imagine a better way to honor his legacy while being a part of the new era of camp ministry. Our new director will be on hand all summer to get to know you and your kids. The future is bright for Daniel Springs. Be sure to check out the camp schedule at danielspringscamp.com. And please continue to support the camp through your prayers, attendance and offerings in 2014. Transitions 2014 will be a year of transitions for DiscipleGuide as two men of distinction will be retiring. For 42 years, Charles Reddin has faithfully served our publishing ministry. In 1972, editor C. O. Strong invited Charles Reddin to join the editorial staff of Baptist Publishing House in Texarkana, TX. In a forty-two year career Brother Reddin’s hand has touched such far-ranging projects as Girls’ Missionary Auxiliary publications to adult Sunday school curriculum. Since 2000 Brother Reddin has filled the position of adult editor, where he supervised the publication of all adult Sunday school curriculum projects. After 33 years as director of the camp ministry at Daniel Springs, Brother James Speer is planning his retirement on December 31 of 2014. He began his ministry as a music and youth pastor at Temple Baptist Church 44 concerned about the sales trends, our forecast for the year looked stable. But once the Winter 2013 quarterly financial reports were prepared, new concerns were raised and our chief financial officer explained that our situation had changed for the worse. The auditor’s prediction from seven years ago was correct. Today, we have seen the culmination of the thirty-year decline. In our February board meeting, our auditor shared a “going concern” that if our expenses were not quickly reduced, we would be out of money by August. Our board was prepared to eliminate printing altogether if necessary. Thankfully, this is not necessary. Conference Ministry The Conference Division of DiscipleGuide Church Resources enjoyed a busy and productive year in 2013. Conferences and workshops that focused on all age demographics in the BMA were well attended and enjoyed by thousands of members of BMA churches. Major conferences such as Pastors Oasis, National Senior Adult Conference, and SOAR saw solid attendance and resulted in great reviews by those who participated. Brother Donny Parrish continues to do a great job providing quality conferences for our churches. 2014 promises to be a great year as well. The Conference Division has been tasked by the churches of the BMA to be more involved in our annual BMAA national meeting in April and has been meeting with the Committee on Arrangements on a consistent basis. DiscipleGuide Conferences will produce volunteer Student Missions Bootcamp again this year. The annual Pastor’s and Laymen’s Conference at the BMAA National Meeting will continue to be produced by the Conference Division. SOAR is slated for July 1-3 at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas. National Senior Adult Conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency in Branson, Missouri, October 29-31. Pastors Oasis is scheduled for October 14-16. Check out discipleguide.org for more details and conference registration information. Please support your Conference Ministry by your prayers and attendance in 2014. Solutions If you look at our sales over the past fifteen quarters, you will see that sales of our Compass and Compass large print lines have remained nearly unchanged. At the same time, the combined sales of all of our other products have taken a 64% plunge. Just this last quarter, for the first time in years, Compass and Compass large print sold more than all of our other products combined. You don’t have to look at the data for long without realizing what needs to happen. Much like other DiscipleGuide products in the past, such as VBS material, Focus magazine, and Pastor’s Quest, we simply cannot afford to print children’s material anymore. However, that doesn’t mean we won’t offer children’s curriculum. We are just changing the way we deliver the “Kid’s Activity Sheets” and “Leader Guide” in order to save money. The idea is simple. After you purchase the literature on the DiscipleGuide website, you are emailed a download link. Simply click the link to download, print, and copy your literature. We began experimenting with this delivery system last year with our youth literature. The DiscipleKids DVD, CD, and Visual Packs will continue to be offered as physical products. Our SOAR:lit youth material will continue to be offered through a digital subscription of only $11 dollars per student per year. SOAR:lit is written in conjunction with the theme of our most popular summer conference, SOAR and SOAR:lit users receive extra amenities at the conference. We will continue to print Compass, Compass Large Publishing Ministry Everybody knows that our publishing ministry has been struggling for decades. Over the past thirty years, publishing has reported declining sales. Seven years ago, the decline accelerated and we hit a tipping point when the losses began threatening our cash reserves. At that time, our auditor predicted that we had 6-7 years left if something didn’t change. Efforts have been made each year to make the right changes that will put an end to the trend. Nothing has worked. In fact, the trend has only accelerated. Over the past ten years, our sales revenue has consistently been lower than our total expenditures. Even as sales have dropped, our expenses have not. Going into 2014, our financial staff was confident in our budget plan for the year. Although we were still 45 Print, and Compass Teacher literature. Looking at our data, it is evident that this is what are churches want. However, we will be discontinuing the Compass Point series due to low sales. stewardship requires that we work with what we have. Relocation That’s one of the main reasons our board is recommending relocating the Texarkana offices to Conway. By this one move, we will be able to save, at minimum, an estimated $58,000! Recently, DiscipleGuide conducted a series of townhall meetings in Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas. It was a joy to meet with pastors and share the vision for relocating DiscipleGuide’s publishing offices from Texarkana, AR, to the BMA headquarters building in Conway, AR. Last April, BMA churches overwhelmingly approved a recommendation to physically integrate Missions and Lifeword by relocating the missions department offices from Little Rock, AR, to the headquarters building in Conway. In the same meeting, the association approved the DiscipleGuide trustees’ recommendation to conduct a feasibility study regarding the relocation of our Texarkana offices to Conway. In June of 2013, after conducting the feasibility study, the DiscipleGuide board of trustees voted to recommend relocation to the association at the April 2014 meeting. Since that time, we have made efforts to communicate our intentions to the association so that church messengers could be properly informed prior to the association meeting. We believe that relocation of the Texarkana offices is a matter of being good stewards with the resources God has provided for DiscipleGuide. Here are just a few of the factors that led our trustees to this decision: Sharing facilities with Missions and Lifeword will save us an estimated $58,000 per year in maintenance and utility costs. Relocation will make communication easier between our publishing staff, conference staff, and production staff. (Production and conference staff are already located in Conway.) Close proximity with Missions and Lifeword staff will aid us in working together. Necessary Changes While the revenue from Compass is substantial, the costs to produce it are more substantial. This is due to our structure. In order to continue offering Compass, we are making some positive changes to our production process. The people in your Sunday school won’t be able to tell the difference, but our bottom line will. To save money, we are going to maximize the assets we already have rather than creating everything from scratch each quarter. This will allow us to significantly reduce editorial, production, and administrative costs. We have a goldmine of BMA writing from over sixty years of publishing. It’s the very material our association was built on. We want to reintroduce our association to our foundational beliefs. This is not “warmed over” literature. Have you read any Dr. E. Harold Henderson lately? It’s as timely today as the day it was written! Truth never goes out of date. The current layout and design of Compass will remain the same and the content will continue to be sound. That’s why I’m excited about our upcoming Compass series. Beginning in the fall, Compass will get back to our BMA roots! Your church needs to know what we believe as BMA Baptists. If we don’t know, then there is no need for us to exist. These changes will allow us to streamline our production staff and make printing feasible. If you want BMA publishing to continue, please, keep ordering Compass! Your Order Matters to Us We have a strong plan that will help us turn things around if our churches will continue to invest in us. Otherwise, if at the end of any quarter this year, sales are unsustainable, we will be forced to shut down publishing operations. This is not a false alarm — this is reality. As you can see in our proposed budget, we are getting lean in order to make this work. We are reducing staff and cutting salaries. We are willing to do what it takes because our churches are worth investing in! Just like your family, we can’t spend what we don’t have. Good The Future If you believe in the future of BMA publishing, please continue ordering from DiscipleGuide. Who knows, this may be the turning point that allows us to provide new 46 resources that we’ve always dreamed of. But, we need your support for that to happen. What if God is preparing the way for something magnificent that is “above all that we ask or think?” We believe in your church and we want to invest in you. Right now, more than ever, we need you to invest in us. Please continue to order literature from DiscipleGuide. Even more importantly, please continue to pray for our ministry and for the ministry of the BMA of America.

The survivability of BMA church plants has ship experienced a drastic increase due to the Pre-field training and assessment are having a very positive affect on recruiting, equipping, and sending missionaries. Missionary Care has helped to sustain missionary families on the field who otherwise may have been forced to resign. BMMI went to eleven different countries last year with medical teams. Missions and Lifeword should be occupying the newly reconfigured BMAA building in Conway by July 2014. 56 where it needs to be. Missionary Care includes: prefield training, crisis counseling, continuing education on the field, emergency medical attention, and much more. Missionary Care has been responsible for helping to keep BMAA missionary families on the field and ministering in a fruitful manner. Multiplication in the U.S. As mentioned in the prior section, the emphasis on church multiplication in the U.S. is still at the forefront of our vision. We are beginning to see a marked increase in the awareness and conversations about our churches planting churches. We need to see that transition into action. We commend the various state missions departments of our association for their faithfulness and fruit in the church planting process. Bro. Larry Barker continues to do a great job leading our efforts for church planting in the U.S. I honor him here in this report by simply informing you concerning his diligence in North American church planting. Thanks Bro. Larry. We remind you that churches reproduce, missions offices do not!! Every missions department at every level in our association exists to help the local church fulfill the mission of God; the churches do not exist to help mission offices fulfill their respective agendas! We recognize the efforts of Jamie and Rebecca Jones and the entire church family in Smithville, MO. We rejoice with them in the new church that has been planted, and we pray they will multiply many times until Jesus comes. International Missions Phil Knott has adjusted well into his new role as the director of international missions. He has been tasked with the specific work of increasing the leadership quotient on international fields while decreasing the financial dependency on outside funds. Much progress was made in this area in 2013. We want to ensure that we are helping our national brothers do the work and not doing it for them. We also are interested in funding ministries that are reproducing disciples and churches. We are very thankful for the steps that have been taken. I also honor Bro. Phil here for his hard work and extended trips he makes in order to carry out his ministry. Thanks Bro. Phil. BMMI Dr. Ralph Izard led a busy ministry in 2013. BMMI visited eleven different countries with medical teams and witnessed thousands of people coming to Christ. I appreciate Dr. Izard and his attempts to make the ministry of BMMI the most effective it can be to long-term ministries in the countries where they visit. There are plans to develop long range goals in specific countries in the area of hygiene and nutrition. This longterm view will pay great dividends for a long time. If you do not know Dr. Izard, I encourage you to invite him to your church and allow him to share the important ministry of BMMI. Dr. Izard is an amazing man in all of his travels and dedication to the ministry that God has called him to. Finances Our finances are holding steady in spite of a couple of trends that have our attention. One, the gradual decrease in giving from our churches over the past ten years continues. Two, our budget has been overly dependent on large contributions from individuals. We have addressed these situations in a number of proactive steps. We will continue to both trust our abundant God and be as faithful as possible in our stewardship of those funds entrusted to us. The good news is that God does indeed continue to meet our needs and allow us to go forward. As stated in the bullet point under the “celebration section” of this report, the 65/35 system of support has allowed us to send several new missionary families to the field AND the contributions to the general fund increased in 2013 from 2012. We are thankful to the Lord for leading us, and we are thankful for your faithful support. Integration The process of integration with Lifeword continues to go well. We are praying that our churches will approve the proposal from Discipleguide to be a part of the integration also. At the level of synergy and cooperation, the integration has already been a tremendous blessing. In relation to the relocation of the missions department to Conway, that is scheduled to take place in Missionary Care Bro. Jerry Kidd and Sarah (Hebert) Hamilton are doing a good job of getting our Missionary Care program 57 exhibited, through their attitude and actions, that the Lord’s work and the advancement of our associational missions program are greater than any individual. I want to acknowledge them here by name. At this point, Karen Keathley and Linda Thompson and will continue in their service in accounting. Jamie Morgan will serve in short term missions leadership. We honor the others who are not planning to continue as we relocate to Conway. Doris Dickey (BMMI), Kathy Boyd (Gleaner/ Mission:World), Hazel Brewer (Office Manager), and Jim Brewer (Warehouse Manager) have all served with great distinction. Thank you all for your ministry through our department. July 2014. We are looking forward to being in one place and our efficiency in God’s mission and our service to the churches of the BMAA increasing even more. At the writing of this article, our property in Little Rock is still on the market. Thanks I have very special thanks to convey to the office personnel in our department. They have worked with focus and dedication for many years. The process of integration has affected them as much or more than any other group of people. I am thankful for their flexibility and patience throughout this process. They really have 58 Recommendations from Missionary Advisory Committee 1.We recommend the election of Jamshed Hadyat as North American church planter in the greater Chicagoland area at a $2,000 a month stipend. 2.
